What does it really mean to be a person of grace? In this powerful message from our series "What Disciples Do," Pastor Mark explores Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector (Luke 18:9–14) to reveal how easily pride and judgmentalism sneak into our hearts—even when we think we’re being faithful.
With honesty, humor, and deep spiritual insight, this sermon challenges us to lay down our self-righteousness, remember how much grace we’ve received, and extend that grace to others. True disciples don’t live from ego—they live from mercy.
Whether you’ve ever struggled with judgmental thoughts, been hurt by a judgmental church, or just long for a deeper experience of God’s love and humility, this message is for you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
